Bogus NY Compliance Letter Targets New Nonprofit

A reddit report about a other scam that cost someone $87.25. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I started a small nonprofit and after filing the initial forms with the State of New York, I got a letter in the mail from "Business Resource Center" (no return address) saying that I had two weeks to purchase a "Certificate of Status" for $87.25 and "Labor Law Posters" for $92.25. There is a QR code to pay that takes me to complytoday.online/ny. There's also an 888 number that I haven't called. The website looks extremely outdated. I didn't think purchasing this stuff was part of the nonprofit incorporation process, and it seems like this is a scam. Does anyone know what the deal is?
